I have created my handwritten signature and scanned it as jpeg file.
Inserting my jpeg file (signature) into Word docuement somehow doesn't come
as natural. Is there an easy wayto create True Type Font from this jpeg
file?

Best regards from Japan, Sachi

There are companies that will make a font from your handwriting or
signature, but for this purpose, it's much simpler to save the JPEG as
AutoText.

Or if you prefer to type it save it as a formatted autocorrect entry for
(say) your initials. Type SN and the graphic is inserted.

And use a png or gif file, not a jpg for a signature.

To save your visitors download volume and get
better images. Do some reading on what jpg and
gif formats are used for.
